Greetings,
The SquirrelMail Team is pleased to bring you the first release
candidate ahead of our next SquirrelMail version: 1.4.20RC1. Because
of the somewhat invasive nature of some of the changes we have
recently made, we are issuing a "release candidate" before we
officially move to version 1.4.20. While we have been very careful to
ensure the stability of SquirrelMail, this version, 1.4.20 release
candidate 1, has undergone limited testing, and we'd like to have more
feedback before we make version 1.4.20 final.
The most notable changes for this version are the addition of two
security mechanisms that fight cross-site request forgeries (CSRF),
the removal of some deprecated PHP functions, some minor fixes in the
filters plugin, and increased user privacy. For more complete
details, see the ReleaseNotes and ChangeLog files included in this
release (in the doc/ directory).
Due to the security issues fixed herein, we'd like to advise all users
of SquirrelMail software to upgrade. However, because this is
technically a "release candidate", it may be most prudent to to test
your upgrade before putting it into production use. We are confident
that most systems will not experience any trouble, but we'll be happy
to work with you to resolve any issues that do arise. Your feedback
is highly appreciated.

Attention all users of SquirrelMail:
SquirrelMail is currently celebrating 10 years of providing free, Open
Source Software to the world. We have a lot to be grateful for and
many people to thank for how successful we've been! But running a
high-profile project with all-volunteer labor means that the mundane
chores gradually consume all our effort and sideline our visionary
initiatives for our next big release. We feel that the time is right,
after so many years of free service, to ask our community to
contribute to the project and support us in keeping up with ongoing
maintenance and development, and in speeding up the release of our
new, fully-skinable "Web 2.0" version. Please visit our donations and
bounties page here:
http://squirrelmail.org/donations.php
Attention developers:
We consist of volunteers developing the most popular open source
webmail client available. We're looking for people to join our team
to help keep our product quality high and to continue to deliver new
and enhanced features. Our project offers an interesting challenge at
the intersection of the IMAP, SMTP and HTTP protocols.
What can you do to help? Any of the following:
* Develop new features: help out on making SquirrelMail "skinnable" or work
with new technologies
* Help sort and fix bugs: interact with submitters, find test cases and
solutions to bugs
* Support our users by answering questions on the mailing lists or the IRC
channel
* Translate SquirrelMail into your language
* Donate to the developers: feed us nuts!

Happy SquirrelMailing!
